Xolo Play comes with a 4.7-inch fully HD IPS display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels. The phone comes with One Glass Solution (OGS) Technology and supports multi-touch up to 5 fingers.

The most interesting aspect of the phone is the processor. Xolo Play features a Tegra 3 processor. The phone is not a quad-core phone but a 5-core phone! Yes, that’s right. The official specifications list that the phone will come with a quad-core 1.2 GHz processor with a special “5th battery saver processor”.

Xolo might be selling the phone as a ‘gamers’ phone but the internal memory is still pretty low at 4 GB. The memory can definitely be increased by an additional 32 GB using a SD card. The RAM is 1 GB.

While the phone’s focus is definitely gaming and the hardware, Xolo has kept even camera enthusiasts in mind. The phone comes with 8 MP rear end camera and a 2 MP front-end camera. The phone comes with regular camera features and single LED flash.

One disappointment with the device is that it will be powered by Android Jelly Bean version 4.1 instead of the latest version 4.2. Also, the phone is pretty heavy and bulky at 167 grams! Xolo Play comes with 2000 mAh battery.

The smartphone is definitely upping the ante when it comes to gaming and specifications. Priced at Rs 15999, the smartphone is a definitely steal and if it lives up to the gaming promises, Samsung and Micromax have a tough competitor!
